Trials of Mana
Trials of Mana is a beautiful game to look at and listen to, as its environments teem with lively colors and mellow music at every step. The characters are all distinct, with designs that tell you everything about their personalities. You can swap between the original SNES game’s soundtrack and...
Streets of Rage 4
Streets of Rage 4 has one of the best soundtracks of any game this year so far, as every track is an absolute banger. Each track perfectly fits the stage it’s set on, and even under all the violent sound effects, every song will quickly dig its way into your...
Final Fantasy VII Remake
The soundtrack of Remake is nothing short of beautiful. Some of the most iconic tracks have various different remixes, with the various versions of “Those Who Fight” and the main theme of Final Fantasy VII sticking out as absolute masterpieces. I was enthusiastic about collecting music records throughout the game...
Panzer Dragoon: Remake
Visually, Panzer Dragoon is quite stimulating. The cutscenes are a bit wonky when it comes to the human characters, but the dragon designs are fantastic, as are the levels and environments. The visual and auditory design is truly unique, and easy to get lost in.
Compounding onto this issue is the repetitive nature of Resistance. In my experience, Survivors always have the same three tasks for the three rounds of play: find three puzzle pieces, get the ID card off of the armored zombie, and destroy three canisters. The maps vary, and some of them...
Treasure Log consists of various extra episodes that allow you to play as any character that you’ve unlocked. These are often based around “what-if” scenarios, which let characters that would normally never meet interact with one another. This leads to some fun and fanservice-stuffed dialogues, which is a fun little...
The visuals and sound in Bubble Bobble 4 Friends are great, as they’re perfectly in-line with the innocent and cheerful tone that the game emanates. There’s a comfortable sense of homeliness in 4 Friends, largely thanks to the nighttime bedroom setting and the soft colors. Alongside various remixes of the...
Visually, One’s Justice 2 looks great for the most part. The models on the main menu have very little shading, which makes them look a bit eerie, but in gameplay, they look much better and are quite expressive. The destructible environments look straight out of the show, as do the...
Visually, Yakuza 5 Remastered looks incredible. Characters look impressively lifelike for a game from 2012, and the huge environments are a joy to explore. Combat is better than any of the titles released before Yakuza 5, which could only be improved with the introduction of the Dragon Engine in Yakuza...
Visually, A Hero Nobody Knows is half-baked. Some characters, like Saitama and a good chunk of the side-heroes, look great and identical to their anime counterparts. Nameless NPCs, monsters, and quest-givers can look pretty wonky, as they don’t fit in with ONE/Yusuke Murata’s style. That, and they just look generic,...
Granblue Fantasy: Versus
Multiplayer works moderately well, though I had some lag issues here and there while facing off against other players online. If RPG Mode and multiplayer aren’t your thing, there are also various combo challenges for each character. It’s fairly standard stuff, but it’s fun enough and it serves as a...
Rune Factory 4 Special
Finally there’s the “Order” system, which focuses on improving the town through your royal decrees. Using Prince Points that are gained through doing pretty much anything, you’re able to host various festivals, expand your inventory and crafting systems, bring new stores to town, and much more. Performing Orders gives you...
